Fiberglass Tire Cord Fabric for Radial Tires from Japan

This is a closed woven plain weave fiberglass fabric made from continuous nonconductive filaments measuring 9-11 microns in diameter, impregnated with resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) for optimal adhesion to rubber compounds in tire manufacturing. It serves as tire cord reinforcement specifically designed for radial tire construction, with a width not exceeding 30 cm. Classified under HTS 7019.63.05.00 due to its precise filament size, electrical nonconductivity, and RFL treatment meeting the exact subheading specifications.

Import Tips

Verify filament diameter (9-11 microns) and RFL impregnation via lab testing certificates, as deviations disqualify from this specific subheading

Provide end-use documentation proving tire cord application to avoid reclassification as general fiberglass fabric

Check for electrical nonconductivity certification to confirm compliance with 'electrically nonconductive' requirement
